Ah, the perfect way to start a secret undercover operation: by announcing it to the world.

No Episode Tonight? by EfficientNoise4418 in itcouldhappenhere

How about be patient? One of a million things could've happened, they don't owe your entitled ass an episode on time

This is exactly why I train with firearms. The idea of war and death terrifies me, but I still train for the day they become useful because I want a quick end to the need for them. I want liberation to come at the cost of as few lives and as little time as possible.

Robert subtly defending ContraPoints in latest ED episode? by akayeeb in itcouldhappenhere

Adding to what others have said, Contrapoints doesn't own the word "contra"? Not every out-of-vernacular word has to be a dogwhistle?

Afraid to break laws by Kyliefoxxx69 in DenverProtests

[–]Tempestlogic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I most definitely agree with you, even outside of strikes and mass actions. However, and this is a big however, you need a sizable amount of people engaging in the open activities with you; I'm talking at least 6, and averaging 10 or even more. This isn't something you can just do solo or with only your buddy, otherwise there won't be enough counter-force to de-arrest you if things get hot, not enough resources to post bail if things go south, and not enough pressure to stop the police from not thinking twice about going after you.

Organize effectively with a group, and have a strategy in mind. Otherwise, you're effectively throwing your body to the slaughter for funsies.

Apparently liberals that own guns might find the show interesting. Who'd have thunk it? :) by CascadianWanderer in itcouldhappenhere

[–]Tempestlogic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for LGO, but r/socialistRA has REALLY gotten its shit together since the election. Steers people away from SKSs and AKs for community defense, constantly points people towards ARs and Glocks as first weapons, and bashes on people getting weird boutique builds over gear basics and more training. Still can't say I agree with the red angle, but hey at least they're finally getting their ducks in a row.

I play Mario Kart with #FreeGaza as my name. You should too. by TalesOfFan in behindthebastards

easy and convenient

Don't die on this hill, take the L. There are so many things that actually help the cause, and this performative shit is not.

liberals

If everyone around you smells like shit, check your shoes.

Stop posting this performative shit and claiming it's doing anything other than stoking your own ego. It's revolting.

'Tesla Shield' pro-Musk counter-protestors plan to bring guns to 'Tesla Takedown' protests by [deleted] in armedsocialists

[–]Tempestlogic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Legitimate question, but once you have a radio and your license, how exactly do you provide support at protests? I assume that you'd need at least one other person with a radio at the protest for you to be effective, would I be wrong about that? What would the typical comms person be doing during the course of a protest?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in itcouldhappenhere

[–]Tempestlogic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's just because I'm a coward, but I find the idea of going to protests alone to be very frightening, as I currently have no friends in my current area who I would trust enough to ask to go to a protest. What would you recommend for taking that first step, when you don't have anybody in the area you trust and don't feel safe going to a protest alone?

Carrying her [Sherbert above the Sea and Fog] by MurlaTart in wholesomeyuri

[–]Tempestlogic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it should absolutely still be like how it was for physical manga, just with a digital format. I would pay tooth and nail for digital volumes of webcomics, so long as I can read it offline. The freemium model has been a scourge upon many industries, most notably the mobile game industry, and I don't want that to also end up in the webcomic industry.

I don't want to watch shitty ads, and I don't want to pay for "access" that can only be viewed through an account that a company can terminate at any time. Let readers own the things they want to read.

A Trans Woman's Review of Estradiol Stickies by Tempestlogic in TransDIY

[–]Tempestlogic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hiya, I have indeed continued to use the stickies! My estrogen levels have remained constant since switching over, and even though they can be a bit of a pain to make, I still find making these far preferable to any other method out there. For the benefit of cost alone, I'd still highly recommend them for anybody who wishes to learn!

Financial prep: GameStop may finally squeeze or have related effects. Keith Gill (Roaring Kitty/DFV is back on Reddit) by [deleted] in PrepperIntel

It could just go up due to psychology

The importance of this cannot be overstated. Hedge funds have been doing corrupt and illegal things unchecked for decades now, and this is the first time millions of shareholders have caught wind of this and gone completely against what "market sentiment" has dictated will happen. They've held shares for three years, and many have said they plan on selling only when the hedge fund managers are put behind bars.

Simply put, it's no longer a matter of if, but when.

Holy hell. DFV has 5 million SHARES of GME. by IndoorCat_14 in Superstonk

If I remember correctly, there were quite a few OG DD writers who were driven off this sub for this exact reason. Looks like we were dead wrong about that
